Durable – Otherwise known as the ‘Statutory Short Form’, this type of power of attorney allows a person to be able to handle another’s financial decisions as long as it is to his or her best interests (See State Laws). Due to the significance of this designation, the form is highly recommended to be signed in front of a notary although under State Law it has to be witnessed by a minimum of two (2) persons.
Health Care – Use to create a health care surrogate that will be able to handle any type of medical decision on your behalf if in the circumstance you may not be able to for yourself. Complete and sign the document in the presence of either an notary or two (2) witnesses for it to be considered valid for use.
